What does the custom of Spring Festival in Gansu mean?

Gansu Spring Festival custom refers to a series of traditional folk customs and activities. In addition to the traditional Spring Festival Gala and flower viewing, people will get together to watch lion dances, set off firecrackers, hang lanterns and stick Spring Festival couplets during the Spring Festival. These customs symbolize people's expectations and blessings for the New Year, and also reflect the unique cultural style of Gansu.

During the Spring Festival, Gansu people will also hold sacrificial activities to pray for peace and prosperity for their ancestors. Some customs are obviously religious, such as burning incense to worship ancestors. These activities not only reflect traditional beliefs, but also show people's memory and respect for their loved ones.

In addition to traditional customs and religious activities, there are also some Spring Festival activities with regional characteristics in Gansu, such as the inspiring culture in Qingyang, the wheat elf activities in Wuwei and the folk singing in Linxia. These activities are not only the inheritance of regional culture, but also the embodiment of cultural exchange and blending, so that people from different regions can visit the New Year through the same culture.
